Tricks and tips to get the very best Havelock vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

To get the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in Emerald Isle:

Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. VIP Beach Access, 3 BR House w\/Linens, Yard, Screened Porch, & No Stairs has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your family.
Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
